Inspired by Mike Rubel's rsync snapshot script [1], I wrote three scripts that keep hourly incremental snapshots for the past day, daily snapshots for the past week, and weekly snapshots beyond that point. This an example layout of the backups directory

current is a soft link to the latest snapshot directory, and the scripts assume it already exists i.e., you've already made a backup with rsync. I didn't make a script for this since it's a one-liner that you are only going to run once anyway.
